Throughout the US, Canada, & Mexico from June 2nd to the 4th, over 8,500 inspectors will be on the lookout for driver and mechanical violations in the transportation industry. The annual inspection is conducted by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) and includes participation from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators, Transport Canada, and the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation in Mexico.
The purpose of the continent-wide program is to put emphasis on the drivers to hopefully enhance safety on all highways, and the enforcement of the laws sends a message to drivers and companies alike: you will be put out of service if you are violating the law or driving an unsafe commercial vehicle.
So…next week, if you’re a truck driver, make sure you’re obeying the laws on the road and that you’re driving a safe vehicle. If you’re unsure, talk to your company about doing a little ‘pre’ inspection before June 2nd.
